Skype Makes Facebook and Twitter the Enemy, Uses Enemy to Promote Itself. Technology is changing the way people think and operate, but is it also degrading humanity?

That's the premise behind Skype's new $12 million marketing campaign, which slams both Facebook and Twitter as it promotes its own more-intimate form of keeping in touch. The campaign, "It's time for Skype," makes virtual enemies out of Facebook and Twitter with targeted ads that suggest the social networking sites are "degrading humanity.
" If Twitter is known for its 140-character limit and Facebook for its wall posts, Skype's authority is that its video conferencing — and the real emotions that it can express — bring people back to a (more) real world.

The ads, released in the U.K. on April 2 and expected to hit the U.S. in the coming months, include the following catchphrases: "When did LOL replace the sound of laughter?

How Iceland Is Rebuilding Its Economy With Social Media. REYKJAVIK, Iceland — While visiting Iceland for an online marketing conference last week, I found myself in the president of Iceland's living room, scratching my head at how welcoming and eager he was to talk about the country's use of social media and technology to rebuild the nation.

The fact that Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson — who has been running the country for 16 years and just announced last week that he will be campaigning once again for re-election — invites strangers into his own home is not all that surprising, when you consider the way he runs the country. Sure, it's highly rare for someone in his position to open his door to people he doesn't know, but this is precisely the way he approaches government in this tiny, snowy country in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
